The “Daily Word from the Word” blog is meant to provide encouragement through receiving, believing, and standing on the Promises of God found in His Written Word, The Bible. In these times we live in, people need encouragement and hope now, not at a later time. People need a “right-now” Word for today from a “Right-now” God. My prayer is that these inspired messages of encouragement from God’s Word will be that and more for you. “For all the promises of God in Him are ‘Yes’, and in Him ‘Amen’, to the glory of God through us.” – 2 Corinthians 1:20

“They shall be My people and I will be their God, in truth and righteousness.” – Zechariah 8:8

God is a God of truth and righteousness. In truth, God is the only source of truth and righteousness. Everything else is opinion, which is deadly fodder. I have stated before that, when people ask me my “opinion” on such matters of truth, I tell them that I do not have one; as what I have, rely on, and stand on is the absolute truth of God’s Word.

Opinions are deadly. If Adam and Eve hadn’t listened to the opinion of that deceptive demon, Satan, and instead, stood on God’s truth, we might all still be in the garden. Opinions originated from the devil, and the devil is the accuser of the brethren and the father of lies (Romans 12:10, John 8:44). To entertain and hang on to opinions is to play with and hold tight to lies, lack, deception, death, and destruction—everything that God is not.

How is the world’s “truth” working out for you, my brother? What lies have you all twisted up on the inside, my sister? God has given us a better way! In truth, the Father has given us the best way because He has given us Himself.

God’s “truth,” as used in this verse, is emeth (pr. eh-meth) and is His “certainty, stability, trustworthiness, faithfulness, surety, truth”; and the Father’s “righteousness,” His tsdaquah (pr. tsed-aw-kaw) is “rightness, virtue, prosperity, justice, righteous” (Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance).

Would you rather walk on the Father’s certain, stable, and trustworthy foundation; or the uncertain, unstable, insecure, and deceptive foundation that the world provides? You will never have to worry about the Most Tried and True Father pulling the rug out from under your feet!

Are you tired of feeling like you are always chasing your tail, my brother? At the end of your rope because you are constantly living in lack, my sister? Then come up to a higher, truthful, and more prosperous way; where the cool and refreshing water is always flowing, and the pastures are always lush and green.

Father, thank You that You are Truth and Righteousness. Thank You that we are made righteous only by the Blood of your Son, Jesus Christ. Help us to forsake the unstable and sinful ways of the world, and to walk in Your truth and righteousness. Draw us in to your Presence each and every day through Your Word and by Your Holy Spirit. In Jesus Name, we thank You that we stand on stable ground, because we stand on Your Word. Amen and Amen.

Take action! Challenge your thinking!Choose to forsake the lower ways of this world for the higher ways of the Father. Choose to stand on the surety of God’s truth, which brings forth green pastures filled with the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). And continue to fight the good fight of leaving the world’s ways alone; for God, your One True Way, has already given you the victory!

If you have never received Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, I encourage you to do it today, right now, by saying this prayer out loud: “Jesus, forgive me for my sins. I am sorry. I truly desire to be saved and reconciled back to God, my Father, through You. I receive Your sinless Blood as payment in full for my sins—past, present, and future. I now call You my Lord and Savior, and invite You to live within my heart, and to permanently live within me. I make You Lord over me and over my life from this moment on. Amen.” Congratulations! You are now a child of God, made whole and made new, by the Blood of Jesus Christ!
